Gerontius was a Roman general whose military prowess earned him recognition as among the bravest of his generation. His decision to rebel and elevate Maximus to power led to his final stand, where his valor in defeat became as legendary as his earlier victories.
Description
A mature Roman general with weathered features and short-cropped hair and beard, wearing military armor and the distinctive cloak of a Roman commander. His build suggests both the strength required of military command and the weathered endurance of long campaigns. His bearing is that of a valiant soldier accustomed to both victory and the possibility of defeat.
